Chapter 109: Douglas is Done
Field had already asked Douglas, and although the matter was damaging to his reputation, time would dilute it, and after suppressing the public opinion, everything would return to normal.
A mere librarian making an actual name accusation against Douglas couldn't stir up much trouble.
Moreover, Douglas had denied ever engaging in such an act.
However, when he learned that this librarian had multiple identities, Field realized that the situation was not as simple as it seemed and that it was a conspiracy aimed at Douglas.
Since he was one of Elizabeth's people who had actually named Douglas, it only proved that this matter was related to Elizabeth and that she wanted to deal with Douglas, and moreover, it was connected to the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, the incident at Austin Star, which he naturally knew inside out.
So, it's possible that they might put Douglas in a lethal situation.
A person who hid so deeply yet possessed such formidable combat power, merely acting as a librarian at Lucas University, was too cunning for Douglas to contend with.
Field repeatedly dialed Douglas's phone number, but continued to reach no one. He finally had to call another number, that of someone at Lucas University.
"Find Douglas, immediately, and get back to me with a message," Field said.
"Yes, Mr. Field," the other party responded.
After hanging up the phone, a chilling look flashed in Field's eyes. Had Princess Elizabeth grown so formidable?
Now, they were about to make a move against Douglas.
......
At Lucas University, after Douglas had repelled Xu Mo, a wild and violent aura surged around him.
Although he knew it was a sensitive period and not suitable for fighting, Xu Mo seemed to be asking for it; Douglas just obliged. Xu Mo had provoked him verbally first, and he hadn't responded at all.
Neither wore any armor; they were both in their flesh.
However, Douglas burst forth with Source Power, forming a Source Power Shield. His arms trembled as he thrust them forward, unleashing a ferocious and powerful force. His boxing technique was an advanced combat skill capable of unleashing tremendous power. At this moment, his punching flurry seemed capable of piercing through space, filled with violent aura.
"Boom…" Wild power swept out, a Source Power Storm roared, and Douglas's body charged at Xu Mo. His gaze was domineering and sharp, fearless, and he feared nothing in whatever he did.
The punch was fierce, about to smash into Xu Mo, when suddenly, Xu Mo threw a punch as well. His punch came with the impact of a tempestuous wave, a cascade of Source Power waves sweeping forward, roaring towards Douglas's fist, colliding together.
"Bang!"
"Crack…"
A crisp sound emerged, and Douglas could only feel his arm snapping joint by joint, a sharp pain attacking him, the force traveling through his arm straight to his chest. With a muffled grunt, Douglas staggered backward.
He looked in disbelief at the scene before him. The next moment, he saw Xu Mo charging towards him.
"Bang." Their bodies shifted past each other, Xu Mo's knee hitting Douglas's lower abdomen. Douglas's body bent like a bow, blood spilling from his lips.
A look of sorrow and anger appeared on his face, but before he could think much, Xu Mo's palm had already pressed against his face, pushing it forcefully downward.
"Boom…"
Douglas's head snapped back, his head forcibly smashed to the ground. If it had not been for the grass, his skull might have burst open.
He roared angrily, only to see Xu Mo crouching before him, a fist smashing into his face.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Punch after punch fell, Douglas's head spinning, feeling somewhat unconscious, his emotions now transformed into humiliation.
Xu Mo's movements slowed, and after throwing another punch, his gaze fixated on Douglas's eyes. Douglas also looked at him, and boom… a powerful spiritual power directly invaded.
"Why did you want to kill Avril?" Xu Mo asked, his voice possessing a sort of Magic Power, breaking down Douglas's will. Douglas opened his mouth, but his strong will still resisted.
"Speak!"
Xu Mo shouted loudly, and Douglas's will collapsed, he began to speak, "That bitch dared to break up with me, she deserved to die."
"Bang."
Xu Mo threw another punch, shouting angrily, "Just for breaking up, you killed her?"
"Yes," Douglas roared back furiously.
"Why did she choose suicide?" Xu Mo asked again.
"Her or her whole family would die," Douglas said.
Xu Mo suddenly stopped; he had seen many of Douglas's memories just now; after Avril proposed breaking up, Douglas brutally abused her, breaking her will. Xu Mo had helped her recover quite a bit during this period, but she was devastated by Douglas in an instant.
Afterward, Douglas threatened with Avril's whole family, leading Avril to despair and to take her own life by medication.
"Her or her whole family would die."
For a powerful nobleman, having a lesser noble killed was indeed not that difficult.
Douglas looked at Xu Mo blankly, his face bloody. What had he just said?
After being beaten by Xu Mo, it seemed his consciousness was not so clear; he felt influenced by something, his heart filled with rage, he wanted to scream, but at this moment, he had no strength left.
"Xu Mo, what are you doing?" At that moment, several people came towards them, addressing Xu Mo, "Let him go."
